Background technology
3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) (3G) adopts CDMA (code division multiplexingaccess, code division multiple access) mode, supports multimedia service, in several years of future, can have higher competitiveness.But in order to ensure in the longer time, keeping this competitiveness, 3GPP has started Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, the LTE) research project of 3G wireless interface technology.
For the LTE system; UE (User Equipment; Subscriber equipment) according to network indication or in advance the rule of agreement obtain the upstream control signaling of corresponding uplink service time slot; Upstream control signaling comprises CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality indication), ACK/NACK (answer signal) signaling or PMI (Precoding Matrix Index, pre-coding matrix information) etc. or its combination in any.
When not having upstream data service, upstream control signaling sends at the appointed reservation frequency band of this UE.Control channel design when not having upstream data is a upstream control signaling transmission plan key for design.In order not destroy the single-carrier property of uplink; Guarantee uplink control signaling transmission controllability simultaneously; An ascending control channel transmission plan sketch map is as shown in Figure 1; Reserve the both sides that frequency band is distributed in system bandwidth, a control channel resource (control channel resoure) is defined as a frequency hop sequences.Like this, when not having upstream data service, the upstream control signaling transmission both can utilize frequency diversity, improved transmission quality, can not destroy single-carrier property again, guaranteed that uplink has lower peak-to-average force ratio.
If the upstream control signaling of certain UE is being reserved the frequency band transmission, UE need be according to the selected transmission means of the various combination of upstream control signaling content, for example; Only have the ACK signaling, then UE does corresponding processing (modulation, coding to the ACK signaling; Multiplexing; For example adopt CAZAC sequence spread spectrum scheme), and upstream control signaling is mapped to corresponding frequency hop sequences (being the control channel resource, control channelresoure) gets on.If have ACK signaling and CQI signaling, then UE is according to the design agreement, with ACK and CQI multiplexing transmission.
After base station end is received the ascending time slot data, read corresponding upstream control signaling data (base station is to know that every UE uploads situation).Corresponding processing is made according to the upstream control signaling content in the base station, for example judges whether the needs data retransmission according to the ACK signaling, confirms transformat of downlink transmission data or the like according to the CQI signaling.
The LTE system supports second type of (type 2) frame assumption diagram, and is as shown in Figure 2, is only applicable to the TDD system.The wireless frame segmentation of a 10ms of Type II frame structure is the field (half-frame) of two 5ms, and each field comprises 7 uplink service time slots (#0 among Fig. 2~#6).Time slot also can be referred to as subframe (sub-frame).The TTI length of LTE TDD is the length of a business time-slot, i.e. 0.675ms.Each uplink service time slot is made up of the OFDM symbol, is example with #0 uplink service time slot, and the uplink service structure of time slot is as shown in Figure 3.Wherein, corresponding to short CP (cyclic prefix, Cyclic Prefix) configuration, each uplink service time slot is made up of 9 OFDM symbols (0-8 among Fig. 3).
Second type of frame knot of LTE system support, a sub-frame only is made up of a time slot, if adopt frequency hopping to realize ascending control channel, must split into 2 sections to the uplink service time slot.When weak point CP; Each uplink service time slot is made up of 9 OFDM symbols; In the LTE RAN149#bis meeting on July 25th, 2007; Disclosed first half is formed the latter half of frequency hop sequences scheme of being made up of 5 OFDM symbols (i.e. 4/5 frequency hopping) by 4 OFDM symbols, and because of two parts before and after this scheme frequency hop sequences do not have symmetry, processing complexity is high in the frequency hopping of reality realizes.Simultaneously, for guaranteeing the symmetry of frequency hop sequences, another program has been proposed: always adopt long CP structure, 4/4 frequency hopping.A shortcoming of this scheme is the situation that possibly have length CP coexistence, can realize bringing difficulty to system.

Embodiment
When existing LTE system ascending control signaling transmits, because there is length CP coexistence phenomenon, when weak point CP; Adopt the scheme of 4/5 frequency hopping; At transmitting terminal, the ack signal of a UE added pilot tone after, carry out the spread processing of time-frequency domain; Obtain one 12 * 4 data block, be mapped to a section of frequency hopping.For another section, also to pass through a same spread processing process, obtain one 12 * 5 data block.
Receiving terminal, two sections receive signals and can not directly merge because data do not have corresponding relation, need carry out channel estimating and despreading respectively after, could merge processing and obtain testing result.
It is thus clear that the scheme of available technology adopting 4/5 frequency hopping because two parts do not have symmetry before and after the frequency hop sequences, need be carried out twice spread processing, channel estimating and despreading and handle.Implement complicacy, hardware cost is high.
First embodiment provided by the invention is a kind of method of TDD-OFDMA system ascending control signaling transmission, and the method flow of this first embodiment is as shown in Figure 4, comprising:
Step 101: receive the upstream control signaling that subscriber equipment transmits on the reservation frequency band of uplink service time slot; This upstream control signaling is mapped on the corresponding frequency hop sequences; When this uplink service time slot is made up of 9 OFDM symbols, the first half of frequency hop sequences and latter half of each form by 4 OFDM symbols.
The upstream control signaling that UE indicates according to network or the rule of agreement obtains corresponding uplink service time slot in advance, upstream control signaling comprises CQI, ACK/NACK (answer signal) signaling or PMI etc. or its combination in any.When not having upstream data service, upstream control signaling sends at the appointed reservation frequency band of this UE.Reserving the frequency band transmission when the control signaling of UE, UE need be according to the selected transmission means of the various combination of upstream control signaling content, for example; Only have the ACK signaling, then UE does corresponding processing (modulation, coding to the ACK signaling; Multiplexing; For example adopt CAZAC sequence spread spectrum scheme), and upstream control signaling is mapped to corresponding frequency hop sequences (being the control channel resource, control channel resoure) gets on.If have ACK signaling and CQI signaling, then UE is according to the design agreement, with ACK and CQI multiplexing transmission.
When weak point CP, the uplink service time slot is made up of 9 OFDM symbols, adopts 4/4 frequency hop sequences; Be preferred scheme; Figure is as shown in Figure 5 for the uplink service structure of time slot, the first half of frequency hop sequences and latter half of each forms by 4 OFDM symbols, be labeled as a frequency hop sequences of OFDM symbol composition of " 1 " among Fig. 5; Promptly one " control channel resource ", #1 representes that this OFDM symbol is the 1st an OFDM symbol.The OFDM symbol that is labeled as " 2 " is formed another frequency hop sequences, i.e. another " control channel resource ".As another preferred scheme, figure is as shown in Figure 6 for the uplink service structure of time slot, and last OFDM symbol is idle, reserves for other use.
After adopting the embodiment of the invention that the scheme of 4/4 frequency hopping is provided, at transmitting terminal, the ack signal of a UE added pilot tone after, carry out the spread processing of time-frequency domain, obtain one 12 * 4 data block, be mapped to a section of frequency hopping.For another section, directly the data that produce to be carried out the conjugation processing and get final product, the complexity of the processing of conjugation almost can be ignored.Total complexity is almost 1/2 of prior art.
Receiving terminal, two sections reception signals can directly merge, and carry out processing such as channel estimating and despreading and obtain testing result.Complexity has also reduced by 1 times.
It is thus clear that after the technical scheme that the employing present embodiment provides, reduced processing complexity in the frequency hopping realization, hardware implementation cost is reduced.
For above-mentioned structure of time slot and frequency hop sequences scheme, different upstream control signaling pilot design can be arranged as required.For example, it is RS (Reference Signal, reference signal) as pilot tone that the low-speed applications situation adopts 1 OFDM symbol, and high-speed applications, adopting 2 OFDM symbols to do the performance of pilot tone can be better.The particular location of pilot tone OFDM symbol can require concrete the selection according to transmission plan characteristics and business etc.
This part has provided the part exemplary embodiments, but is not limited to this, and pilot tone also can be in other positions.
According to the transmission technology of application scenarios and employing, can adopt 1 OFDM symbol to do pilot tone, uplink service structure of time slot such as Fig. 7, wherein " OFDM symbol 1 " represented the 1st OFDM symbol, other is similar.As preferred scheme, first half adopts the 2nd OFDM symbol to do pilot tone, and the 7th OFDM symbol of latter half of employing done pilot tone, other OFDM symbol transmission ACK signaling.Perhaps, first half adopts the 3rd OFDM symbol to do pilot tone, and the 6th OFDM symbol of latter half of employing done pilot tone, other OFDM symbol transmission ACK signaling.
Adopt 2 OFDM symbols to do pilot tone, the uplink service structure of time slot is as shown in Figure 8.As preferred scheme, first half adopt the 2nd and the 3 two OFDM symbol do pilot tone, latter half of employing the 6th and the 7 two OFDM symbol are done pilot tone, other OFDM symbol transmission CQI or CQI+ACK signaling.Perhaps, first half adopt the 1st and the 4 two OFDM symbol do pilot tone, latter half of employing the 5th and the 8 two OFDM symbol are done pilot tone, other OFDM symbol transmission CQI or CQI+ACK signaling.
Step 102:, make corresponding processing according to upstream control signaling.After base station end is received the ascending time slot data, read corresponding control signaling data (base station is to know that every UE uploads situation).Corresponding processing is made according to the upstream control signaling content in the base station, for example judges whether the needs data retransmission according to ACK, confirms transformat of downlink transmission data or the like according to CQI.
UE need send SRS (Sounding Reference Signal, measuring reference signals) to measure the transmission quality of up channel to the base station frequently.For PUCCH, mainly transmit two types of signaling: CQI and ACK.For the CQI signaling, can make each UE can not send CQI signal and SRS signal simultaneously through controls such as scheduling, just there is not the situation of conflict in the two like this.For the ACK signaling because the ACK signaling will and descending packet between keep fixing mapping relations, therefore; The transmission subframe position of ACK can not arbitrarily change; Like this, ACK signaling and SRS send possibly simultaneously, as can not in design, guaranteeing; Destroy up single-carrier property possibly, systematic function is descended.
For second type of frame of FS2; During weak point CP, can adopt the scheme of 4/4 frequency hopping, PUCCH (the Physical Uplink Control CHannel when passing ACK; Physical Uplink Control Channel) an OFDM symbol is idle, and (9 OFDM symbols have 8 to be mapped on the frequency hop sequences; Be used for transferring ACK and 4 RS (latter half of each 2 of first half), a remaining free time), be used for transmitting SRS.As shown in Figure 9, certain UE sends ACK control signaling and RS on certain frequency hop sequences, sends SRS in the moment of idle OFDM symbol, and idle OFDM symbol can be the 5th of 9 OFDM symbol, the 8th or wherein any one.
For second type of frame of FS2; During weak point CP; Can adopt the scheme of 4/4 frequency hopping, the OFDM symbol of the PUCCH when transmission CQI or CQI+ACK signaling is idle, and (9 OFDM symbols have 8 to be mapped on the frequency hop sequences, are used to transmit CQI+ACK, CQI signaling and 2 RS (latter half of each 1 of first half); A remaining free time), be used for transmitting SRS.Shown in figure 10, certain UE sends CQI or CQI+ACK signaling and RS on certain frequency hop sequences, sends SRS in moment of idle OFDM symbol, and idle OFDM symbol can be the 5th of 9 OFDM symbol, the 8th or wherein any one.
After the scheme that the employing present embodiment provides, SRS can not destroy up single-carrier property in any position of frequency domain, makes systematic function get a promotion.
